Nietzsche is really speaking about the death of tragedy not its birth. He really doesn't like humanism in any of its variations. He says that it's our experiences which give us our understanding (a very Husserlian Phenomenological thing to say). The instinct, emotion, passion, the mysticism withi...
After little Patrick's father dies, he is left to the care of his eccentric and adventurous aunt, Mame. His childhood goes from one of routine and order to one rather more unusual, and over the course of his adolescence and early adulthood, his colourful Auntie Mame keeps providing him with amazing ...
S 39 Nobody is likely to consider a doctrine true merely because it makes people happy or virtuous - except perhaps the lovely “idealists” who become effusive about the good, the true, and the beautiful and allow all kinds of motley, clumsy, and benevolent desiderata to swim about in utter confus...
S5: .... we know the subjective artist only as the poor artist, and throughout the entire range of art we demand first of all the conquest of the subjective, redemption from the “ego,” and the silencing of the individual will and desire. Indeed, we find it impossible to believe in any truly artist...
S4: Suppose I had published my Zarathustra under another name - for example, that of Richard Wagner - the acuteness of two thousand years would not have been enough for anyone to guess that the author of Human All Too Human is the visionary of Zarathustra S5: Scholars spend all their energies on say...
Every once in a blue moon, on a night when the stars are celebrating with a glass of champagne, and the air is heady with the scent of perfume, a person like Auntie Mame is born.

I found this book in the bible college library and as such decided that I had to read it (who would expect to find Nietzsche, a man who hated Christianty, in the library of a Bible College – the again this wasn't a fundamentalist, can't have any books that aren't written by approved authors in the l...
Whether you agree or disagree with him, Nietzsche is one of the most passionate writers you will ever read; a quality missing from most philosophical writings. For me one of the strongest ideas from The Anti-Christ is that there is a fundamental rejection of life itself in both the teachings of Chr...
OK, I started this book yesterday. I found the introduction by Paul Rudnick more interesting than the book itself. The book draws a picture of an era. It was a hit in the 1950s. I easily recognize my parents gung-ho attitude that anything and everything is possible. OK, you do laugh sometimes, but e...
